Details

I'm at the pint in my reading plan where God is giving Moses direction on how. to build the ark and the tabernacle.
"Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you. (Exodus 25:8, 9 NIV)

God fills up the next three chapters with every tiny little detail that must go into the pattern He has in mind. Good grief this can be hard to follow! But I read someone else's notes on these chapters and it helped me to realize one way to make this reading come alive today. God cares about the details! Every single tiny little bitty one! Yes, the big picture is important, but so are the details. No detail is too small for God. So every little tiny worry - give it to Him to handle. Every tiny little white lie or sin - ask for forgiveness. Every little good thing you do - makes Him proud. Every big huge thing you accomplish - He helps you every little step of the way. Every big struggle you endure - He will be you helper through every tough millisecond if you ask.

I haven't asked for God's help with so many details until we started this in vitro cycle, and I regret not doing it before. My eyes have been opened to all God is doing around me and I've grown even closer to Him. This tells me He really does love the details down to the minute! He wants to be there for us and to be an active part of our lives. He's just waiting for us to let Him in.
